DESCRIPTION: Completion of the Camp Parks General Plan Amendment is
identified as a high priority in the City Council Goals and Objectives for the Fiscal Year 2004-2005. Over
the past several months, Planning Staff has been working with the Project Applicant, the U.S. Army and
their authorized representative, the Staubach Company, to determine the most efficient and effective
manner in which to proceed with developing a land use plan for the 182-acre site. Staff and the Army

comprehensive planning process should be employed to outline a vision for the future uses of the land. '

community through a Strategic Visioning process. The visioning process will solicit community input,
analyze options and possibilities for land uses, and create•master plan alternatives for review and
discussion. The proposed consultant, RTKL Associates, Inc., has completed community outreach and
visioning programs for several other cities as well as private sector clients throughout.California and the
rest of the country. The Visioning Process as proposed by RTKL will last nearly 4 months from start to
finish.

Throughout the process, there will be a Project Team comprised of members of Staff, Consultants, and
representatives from the U.S. Army that will meet frequently to receive status updates on the progress of
the process and to provide support and feedback at critical points. The Project Team will serve to make
sure the program stays on track. In addition,Planning Staff will be intimately involved with managing the
program to ensure a successful outcome.

business leaders in order to gather some background information about community concerns and
opportunities.
